Interactive art and artificial reality (panel session)

Abstract

Panelists Myron Krueger Independent Consultant Ed Tannenbaum Independent Artist Don Ritter Concordia University This panel focuses on and addresses the distinctions made between computer art, interactive art, and artificial and virtual realities. Panelists consider how the computer, as a symbol-manipulating, all-purpose machine, is a tool that changes the way art is created and experienced. Panelists argue that this view implies interactivity and possibly trivializes static paintbox computer art by changing the viewer's role from passive observer to active participant. Interactivity is discussed as a step toward artificial or virtual realities and a means to define new possibilities in real-time performance.

Uncertainty due to quark energy loss in determining the nuclear sea quark distribution from nuclear Drell-Yan data

“…where α denotes the incident quark energy loss per unit length in nuclear matter, [22] is the average path length of the incident quark in the nucleus A, and E p is the energy of the incident proton. In addition to the linear quark energy loss rate, another one is presented as…”
